Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Thornleight North West annually. That’s why termite treatment and pest control is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Thornleight; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for additional information on the price for termite treatment and management.

In Thornleight, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
